C N.C.                                      F 
Hold me closer, I think she's holding on to him 
          C 
Would you care to dance a little longer? 
                         G7 
Would you mind taking me in? 
C N.C.                                    F 
Hold me closer, if you could only just pretend 
          C 
She might see me smiling somewhere 
    G7            C 
And want me back again 


Verse 1:
   Am 
We used to go together a-waltzing 
        C                          F 
Oh, she used to lead me out on the floor 
    C 
But here I am with you tonight 
          G7              C 
And she's over there with Joe

Hold me closer, I think I just might cry 
          C 
Well, I'm dusting off some memories 
                     G7 
That are waking up inside 
C N.C.                                   F 
Hold me closer, and we'll dance into the night 
                C 
Though you might see me flash a grin 
           G7                 C 
Honey, I'm having the hardest time 


Verse 2:
   Am 
We used to sail at night like stars 
         C                             F 
And we'd tell it like it is to all the folks 
            C 
She used to cut up my old blue jeans 
    G7              C 
And laugh at all my jokes

Hold me closer, I think I need a friend 
         C 
Well, my longest night of lonesome 
                G7 
Is coming to an end 
C N.C.                              F 
Hold me closer, as we walk into the wind 
         C 
Lay your love upon my busted heart 
          G7                C 
And we'll pray that it will mend
